    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - Another USB port
    - Reboot the computer
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 5 went to recovery mode when trying to install update 6.1.4

    A couple of hours ago, I got a prompt on my iPhone 5 to install update 6.1.4 over wifi (for the speakers). I turned on wifi in phone settings and clicked install and saw a tiny message saying 'Verifying, ..'
    The next thing I saw was a symbol for connecting iphone usb to iTunes. When I did, Itunes said that my phone was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. Trusting that Apple would know what it is doing, I clicked okay, but stopped short of actually resoring when itunes warned me that my data would be lost and phone will be restored to factory settings. Data is everything!!!
    I have important family pictures that haven't been backed up and I don't want to lose them. What do I do? It would have been so much better had Apple update warned me to backup before starting update. iPhone does not even turn on now. Help please!!! Very disappointed in Apple. Their own updates should not crash their own devices, and without any warning of data loss whatsoever.
    Apple has become a big bully!!!
    Please Help..

    firstly dont panic my friend..  if your phone is not turning ON, try a hard reset
    Press and Hold down the Lock button [wch is on top] and the Home button...hold both of em together for 10 secs or till the time you see tghe apple logo
    once you see the apple logo release the keys the phone will come back to life
    if you find the the handset is in recovery mode you have no other option but to restore the device. Sorry but tht is the only thing you can do.  good luck

  • HT201210 Why can't i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode when i try to restore it?

    Hello People,
    My iPhone 3GS has gone into "Recovery Mode" and ive tried to restore it. When it reaches the firmware it stops and my iPhone restarts and i get an error message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured(1)." Ive tried putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't seem to work (its like it is in a loop). Ive tried different firmwares such as 3.1.3 and 4.1 and it still stops at the firmware section. The iPhone was new out of the box about 4-5 days ago and i get this.
    Any suggestions please post below this thread.
    Best Regards,
    Kieran

    You've just exposed your email address to millions of people, some of whom are spammers or worse. That was not a good idea. Expect a massive increase in spam as a result, unless the mods see it and edit it out of your message. You can only restore a 3GS to iOS 5.1.1. If you are trying to install an earlier version you must hack or jailbreak your phone; error 1 is usually an indication that the phone is jailbroken. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1

    It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

  • HT4623 My Apple 4s phone is frozen up and I can't do anything on it.  I was updating my IOS to IOS7 as prompted to on the screen when I reached the part where it asked for an backup E-mail address.  I supplied this and it froze up and won't even turn off

    I received a prompt on the screen of my Iphone 4S to update my IOS to IOS7.  I clicked on "Start" and went thru and supplied all the requested info.  It asked me for an alternate back-up  E-mail address, I entered this on the screen and when I clicked on "Next" it would go no further on this setup. Now I can't do anything because it's like it totally froze up.  I can't even turn my phone off nor go forward or anything.  What can I do to turn my phone off and totally stop this update???

    Hi Genoc728,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive and can't be turned off, you can reset it. See this article for the steps, and other helpful troubleshooting tips for an unresponsive device:
